Paul, Thanks a ton for that tag, it does exactly what I want!
I currently have my Cisco CSS set to use the users IP address to keep their session 'sticky' to a given server, which works for most of my cases (AOL is busted). I am at the very beginning of a complete application re-write, so I am doing all my research now =) Thanks for the advice, and thanks to anyone else putting up with my inane questioning!

This is usually achieved with round robin DNS and/or specialist load balancing software. The only clusters I ever built all used a dedicated SQL Server DB (cookiejar) to store the client vars in and another SQL Server machine for the application DB because the amount of hits to cookiejar was 2 or 3 per page request depending on what was happening as I recall so splitting out the resources made sense when we got to very high loads.
